Brian Tracy Quotes

You develop courage by acting courageously whenever you feel like acting otherwise.

Fearlessness may be a gift, but perhaps most precious is courage from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions.

Courage in the path is what makes the path manifest itself.

Courage is only an accumulation of small steps.

The next time you encounter fear, consider yourself lucky. This is where the courage comes in. Usually we think that brave people have no fear. The truth is that they are intimate with fear. When I was first married, my husband said I was one of the bravest people he knew. When I asked him why, he said because I was a complete coward but went ahead and did things anyhow.

Bravery is feeling fear but doing the thing anyway.

Courage is one step ahead of fear.

Anything can be achieved with a good, healthy dose of courage.

You become courageous by doing courageous acts...Courage is a habit.

As I like to say, take the shot, even if your knees are shaking.

I'm just saying, take courage. That and pretty much that alone is never the incorrect thing to do.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the mastery of it.

I tend to do things that I'm very frightened of. That's what I do.

My biggest fear is fear itself. I never want to be afraid of doing something I want.

I think I learned I'm braver than I think I am.

Courage comes by being brave; fear comes by holding back.

it is only courage on the path itself that makes the path appear

The important thing about "brave" is, it doesn't mean you're not terrified.

Courage, contrary to popular belief, is not the absence of fear. Courage is the wisdom to act in spite of fear.

Courage is not the lack of fear. It is acting in spite of it.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

Just because you feel fear doesn't mean you can't do it. Do it afraid

Who would condescend to strike down the mere things that he does not fear? Who would debase himself to be merely brave, like any common prizefighter? Who would stoop to be fearless--like a tree? Fight the thing that you fear. You remember the old tale of the English clergyman who gave the last rites to the brigand of Sicily, and how on his death-bed the great robber said, 'I can give you no money, but I can give you advice for a lifetime: your thumb on the blade, and strike upwards.' So I say to you, strike upwards, if you strike at the stars.

Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it by use.

Fearlessness may be a gift but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavour, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions, courage that could be described as 'grace under pressure' - grace which is renewed repeatedly in the face of harsh, unremitting pressure.
